The mother will compose one for the first child to enter the world and the father for the last.  Together they will compose one for the middle child. During the ritual each piece of music is played by members of the family as the children are presented individually to the gathering of well wishers. The music is archived and will not be played again until the Ritual of Death. All present meditate for an hour praying for the reborn souls. To conclude the ceremony the parents drink tea from a ceremonial tea set called a Hekla. Each Hekla is unique and made for the family by a craftsman. The parents will sip from three cups, each adorned with the childs name on it.  The individual tea cups are destroyed during the Death Ritual if hallodor has been attained by that child.
